Self-portrait shooting

When shooting with the LCD display angled 180 degrees towards the lens, you can set the menu option SELF SHOOT to MIRROR, to horizontally flip the video image on the LCD display, and allow you to view a mirror image while shooting.

Note that only the video image on the LCD monitor is horizontally flipped, not the actual video being recorded.

Scan reverse shooting

By setting SCAN REVERSE on the setting menu SYSTEM SETUP screen to ON, video can be vertically/horizontally inverted when displaying and recording.

Zebra pattern

The AG-HPX250P/EN can display two zebra patterns.

Turning the ZEBRA switch on displays the zebra pattern set in the menu in the viewfinder and LCD monitor. A menu setting makes it possible to also display the zebra pattern on video output via the VIDEO OUT connector.
